"Take heedª° to thyself that¹ thou be not snaredª° by followingª them, after² that¹ they be destroyedª° from beforeª¹ thee; and that¹ thou enquireª° not after their gods,ª saying,ª° How¹ did these¹ nationsª serveª°¹ their gods?ª even so¹ will I¹ doª° likewise.ª ... Thou shalt not¹ doª° so¹ unto the LORDª thy God:ª for¹ every¹ abominationª to the LORD,ª which¹ he hateth,ª° have they doneª° unto their gods;ª for¹ even¹¹ their sonsª and their daughtersª they have burntª° in the fireª to their gods.ª" {Deu 12:30-31} + "Thou shalt not¹ plantª° thee a groveª of any¹ treesª near¹ unto² the altarª of the LORDª thy God,ª which¹ thou shalt makeª° thee. ...
